286 to 300mm brake disc upgrade

[JAMZILLA321]

You don’t really need 300mm discs.
The standard solid discs are fine for road use.
In Good Condition.
Lots of people go on about they really need ‘updraded’ brakes, when really, what they have are in poor condition.
I’m changing from solid 286 to vented 300 because I’ll be using the car on track. I trail brake, (brake later deep into the corner), and left foot brake at times. It’s Really hard on brakes, there’s a lot of heat needs dissipated really quickly.
If I were keeping it as a road car I wouldn’t bother, they’re fine.

The 286mm discs are more expensive and refer though I’ve found

Rarer*

It’s a mod you really should declare to your insurance.
Pm me your address and I’ll send you four discs and two calipers, you can’t get much cheaper than free.

300mm discs will require 17" or larger wheels and a 16" spare if you are carrying one?

No, 300mm discs don't require 17", you can keep your 16" wheels without any problems.

What DomiMik said.
It’s my thread that’s referenced on page 1, clearly shows a 16” wheel fitment as that’s what I use.
